    Decent airport. Security is pretty easy to get through as well. Don't get food here.

    This airport was built by the Germans in 1904 as evidenced by the name. Unfortunately, scholars maintain that any other information was lost hundreds of years ago.

    Flying SW and leaving from gate 1 or 2? Stop and get stuff before going through security. Not much after.

    Ron Burgandy (Anchorman): in 1904, they named it San Diago, which of course in German means "a whale's vagina"
